The Recipe How-To
Now that we have gathered all our ingredients from the previous section, it’s time to start baking these American Choc Chip “Cookies of Death”. In this section, I will share with you the step-by-step process on how to bake these delicious and deadly cookies.
Step 1: Cream butter and sugars
The first thing you have to do is cream together 3/4 cup of unsalted butter which should be at room temperature, 1 cup of white sugar, and 2 cups of brown sugar in a mixing bowl using an electric mixer with the paddle attachment. You should mix until a smooth texture is achieved.
Step 2: Add other wet ingredients
Gradually add two eggs into the mixture and mix thoroughly at medium speed. Then add 2 tsp of vanilla extract and one tsp instant coffee granules, dissolved in one tablespoon of hot water. Mix everything well until fully incorporated.
Step 3: Add dry ingredients
After finishing the previous step, add dry ingredients; start with combining 1¼ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tbsp baking powder, 1 tbsp bicarbonate of soda, 2 tbsp cocoa powder, and 1 tsp salt in another bowl. Whisk all the ingredients together before adding them slowly into the wet mixture. Make sure to mix until everything is well-blended.
Step 4: Mix-in Chocolate Chips
Toss in 4 cups of chocolate chips, stir gently until they are distributed evenly throughout the dough.
Step 5: Chill Dough
Chill your dough for one hour or overnight, depending on how much time you have. Putting it in the fridge over time happens to be the best way to upgrade its flavor as well as preventing it from spreading out too much when it bakes.
Step 6: Bake
To bake, quickly cut off spoonfuls from your chilled dough with your hands or a cookie scooper and drop them closely onto baking sheets without flattening them out. Bake at 350°F (180°C) for around 10-12 minutes, or until slightly browned around the edges but still pale-looking and soft in the center.
After taking out your baked cookies from the oven, let them settle down for five mins before transmogrifying them onto wire racks to cool down till reaching their optimal “delectableness” state possible–softly-baked centers with a bit crispy textures around their edges; which almost melts inside the mouth and provides satisfying effects that make our reactions utter awesomeness.

Substitutions and Variations
Do you want to switch things up a bit and try some variations with this recipe? There are numerous possibilities to experiment with, depending on your preferences or dietary restrictions. Here are some ideas:
– Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies: Who doesn’t love the classic combo of peanut butter and chocolate? For this variation, simply add 1/2 cup of creamy peanut butter to the batter before folding in the chocolate chips.
– Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies: If you’re looking for egg-free and dairy-free options, this vegan version is just as delicious. Substitute the egg with a flax or chia seed “egg,” use vegan chocolate chips or chunks, and swap the unsalted butter with a vegan butter alternative.
– Double Chocolate Chunk Cookies: Are you a die-hard chocolate lover? Then you’ll appreciate these cookies packed with double chocolate flavor. Replace 1/2 cup of flour with cocoa powder, add 1/2 cup of semisweet or dark chocolate chunks along with the chocolate chips, and omit the instant coffee.
– Chocolate Pudding Cookies: If you want to add a moist and fudgy texture to your cookies, adding instant pudding mix to the batter will do the trick. Use one small box (3.4 ounces) of instant chocolate pudding mix in place of one teaspoon of baking powder and half teaspoon of baking soda.
– Death White Chocolate Chip Cookies: For a twist on traditional chocolate chip cookies, try using white chocolate chips instead. They still pair perfectly with cocoa powder.
No matter what combination of ingredients you choose, these American Choc Chip Cookies of Death will be sure to impress your taste buds. So go ahead and get creative!

Make-Ahead, Storing and Reheating
In my experience, the beauty of cookies is that you can make them ahead of time and store them for later. Although this recipe is especially irresistible fresh from the oven, it’s also worth mentioning that these American choc chip cookies of death can last about a week stored properly.
To make these tasty treats ahead of time, the best option is to make the cookie dough and keep it in the refrigerator or freezer. You can even freeze cookie dough balls and bake them at your convenience. When you’re ready to bake, simply remove the dough from the fridge or freezer, let it come to room temperature, and then follow the recipe instructions for baking.
For those concerned with quick and easy access to fresh cookies straight from the oven, you can always refrigerate pre-made cookie dough for up to 2-3 days. Once again, allow it to reach room temperature before baking.
Leftover cookies can also be stored in an airtight container at room temperature. To maximize freshness and ensure moistness, place a piece of bread inside the container; that’s an old-school trick that works wonders! Alternatively, you could place them in a ziplock bag or wrap them tightly in plastic wrap. Cookies stored this way will stay fresh for up to a week.
If you want to adhere to the famous words of Trisha Yearwood – “they’re called Chocolate Chip Cookies because Death by Chocolate was already taken” – I suggest reheating your cookies in the microwave or oven just until warmed through (about 15 seconds). If microwaving your cookies you should consume them immediately since they tend to harden after they cool down.
Overall, following these simple storing tips will guarantee that your American choc chip cookies of death taste just as delicious even if you’re savoring leftovers days after baking.
Tips for Perfect Results
Baking is both an art and a science. The slightest deviation can alter the outcome of the entire recipe. To ensure that your American Choc Chip Cookies of Death Recipe turns out perfectly, follow these helpful tips:
Firstly, remember to use good quality chocolate chips for optimum flavor. I recommend using semisweet chocolate chips, but you can also customize by using different types such as white chocolate or peanut butter chocolate.
Secondly, accurately measure out all of the ingredients before starting the recipe. Only one extra tablespoon of flour or sugar could ruin the texture and taste of your cookies.
Thirdly, make sure that your butter and egg are at room temperature. If your butter is too hard, it won’t cream well with the sugar resulting in a dense cookie. Similarly, using cold eggs will hinder the emulsification process between the wet and dry ingredients leading to a poor texture.
Fourthly, preheat your oven for at least 15 minutes before baking so that it reaches the right temperature. If your oven isn’t hot enough, the cookies may spread too much or not cook evenly.
Fifthly, don’t overmix the dough – stop mixing as soon as all wet and dry ingredients have combined well together. You don’t want to lose all of that precious air incorporated from creaming the butter and sugar together.
Sixthly, chill your dough for at least 30 minutes before scooping it onto your baking sheet. This will prevent excessive spreading during the baking process and also create that perfect fluffy texture in between crispy edges.
Seventhly, keep an eye on the cookies while baking. Since ovens vary in temperature, some cookies might be done quicker than others in only 10 minutes. Always aim for a slightly underdone cookie because they will continue to cook on their own on a hot baking tray out of the oven.
By following these tips, you’ll have scrumptious American Choc Chip Cookies of Death Recipe that even Trisha Yearwood or Snoop Dogg would approve!

Why do chocolate chip cookies use baking soda instead of baking powder?
When making cookies, adding baking soda isn’t just important for helping them rise – it also plays a role in the browning of the cookies. This is because baking soda can speed up a chemical reaction called the Maillard reaction. During this reaction, an amino acid part of the protein in the dough reacts with the sugar in the cookies, causing them to brown when baked in the oven.
